I’m the author of numerous books for major publishers including Pearson, Que Publishing, Financial Times Press, Prentice Hall, and Macmillan. I’ve written books on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+), business applications (Microsoft Office, Google Apps, Gmail, Basecamp), and digital living (working at home, online travel research).

Business technology books get outdated very quickly. Here are links to my current books, available from online and local booksellers worldwide. Stay tuned for new books on Office 2016, Sway, LinkedIn, and more!

Here are some of the nice things leading experts have to say about my books.

“The Truth About Profiting from Social Networking is an insightful, useful book that many marketers should keep at their fingertips.”

Guy Kawasaki
Chief evangelist at Canva and author of The Art of the Start 2.0

“The most comprehensive guide to Basecamp we’ve ever seen. If you want to know everything there is to know about Basecamp, this is the book for you.”

Jason Fried

“Patrice’s book not only gives smart advice on navigating the social media waters, but does so with examples that are easy to understand and translate for use in your business.”

Here are a few samples.
